Marvin Sordell says he could look at moving into a player care role once his playing career in football is finished.

The Burton Albion striker is preparing to head into his fourth season at the Pirelli Stadium, having joined from Coventry City in January 2017. He has scored nine goals in 84 appearances for Albion so far.

Last September, the 28-year-old gave an open and honest interview to the Guardian about mental health and how he has dealt with depression during his career.

That is an area in which he is keen to help once he is done with his time on the pitch.

"Player care is such a huge part of the game. That's something I'd potentially move into when I hang up my boots," he said in an interview with talkSPORT.

"It’s normally external organisations pushing it on to the clubs about the player's wellbeing, so I'd like to think the former could be doing a bit more in terms of support for these people suffering in silence.

"I think it's important that we drum this into youngsters from an early age the importance of this subject.

“I've spoken with a lot of academies, so delivering workshops and assisting in that sort of thing would definitely be of interest to me."
